Survival analysisDeep Learning

DeepHit

DeepHit is a deep neural network framework for survival analysis with competing risks. Introduced by Lee et al. in 2018, it extends DeepSurv to handle settings where multiple, mutually exclusive events can occur, such as disease-specific mortality versus death from other causes. DeepHit solves the challenge of personalized risk prediction when subjects can experience different types of terminal events, a common scenario in medical and reliability applications.
